He's yet to win a ring, though.ĭallas' lone Stanley Cup victory came in 1999.LAS VEGAS (AP) - Chandler Stephenson jumped on a rebound 1:12 into overtime and hit the back of the net to complete a rally and give the Vegas Golden Knights a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Final. He took Vegas to the West final in 2020, the San Jose Sharks to the Stanley Cup Final in 2016, and the New Jersey Devils to the Stanley Cup Final in 2012.

"There's a lot to unpack there," DeBoer said, laughing.
The Western Conference Final will be a revenge series of sorts for Stars bench boss Pete DeBoer, who coached the Golden Knights the previous three seasons. The Stars controlled 66.57% of the expected goals when Heiskanen was on the ice at even strength. Miro Heiskanen shined bright on the Stars' blue line, logging a game-high 32:06 in the contest.
"It's great," Oettinger said of his team's defensive effort, according to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski. He wasn't tested often, as Seattle generated just seven high-danger chances in the game compared to Dallas' 17, according to Natural Stat Trick. But it was too little too late, as Dallas held on for the victory.īoth goalies played excellently, but Jake Oettinger earned the victory for Dallas by stopping 22 of 23 shots. Oliver Bjorkstrand made things interesting, getting the Kraken on the board with 17 seconds left in regulation.
